Personal Attention
Every client works directly with a CPA — not a junior associate or call center. We take the time to understand your full financial picture.
Our Story
A Tradition of Trust in Nutley
For over 40 years, our firm has been a cornerstone of the Nutley community — providing honest, personal accounting services to the families and businesses we call neighbors.
Our History
How We Got Here
Gasparano & Associates was founded on a simple belief: that every client deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of the size of their return or their business. Our roots trace back to the office of Joe Marinello CPA, a beloved fixture in Nutley's professional community for decades.
When Thomas Gasparano — who had built his career and reputation working alongside Joe Marinello — established Gasparano & Associates, he carried forward that same commitment to personal service and community trust. The firm has grown, but the philosophy has never changed: know your clients, understand their lives, and give them advice you'd give a friend.
Today, Gasparano & Associates serves individuals, families, and small businesses throughout Nutley and the surrounding Essex County area. We are proud to be a firm where clients are known by name — not by account number.
Our Values
